The Oaptaia had of- fered a prbe of I doa't know how maoh to- bacoo to the first oao who sighted a whale, bat Itwas ae aao. It was daring thb stoto of affidrs, with the mates aohiag to oatoh as tripping as an exonao for veattng theb fll foelfaigB, when one mombg after broakbat tha old man ordered down two of tiiobeata for a llttto praotioo to keep too blbtoro sai oar palma from heallag ap. The first boat had moved eft about twice the ahip's loagth, aad the men wore jost getting settled on the thwarts, whoa a big boll whab at least seveaty feet long oamo op dirootly aadar too boat and sent her sky h|gh.

" We had boon looUng for whalos, and one had tnmed np under ear neeos with a vengoanoo. The survivors of the beat were paUod aboard of the ship, and wo lay there waiting and watohing for the whale to show np again. He waa half a mito away at the next spent, and went down before wo oenld get to him. Ho then diaappearod for good, and we drifted aU day without sight of an- ether spent. Our poor lack and the loss of the boat hiereased the Captain's ill hnmor, and the mates, of coarse, took their ona from him and knocked the men about with free hand. The first mate, in whoso watoh I was, was parMcnlarly abusive toward a young sailor named Fleetwood, who wm not only homeelck, bat in poor health. At length, seising npan aeme slight pretext, the cffijor felled Fleetwood to the dook and then brutally kicked him. It was enough to make every man's blood boU, bnt a word on our part weald have been mnttay. When the yonng man got np, hb face smaarod with bleed and hb Umbo shaking under him, ho stoggored to the side, called good-by to OS, and went overboard before any onooonld rabo a hand to prevent. There waa a ory of horror, followed by a groan of dbmay from toe men, bat the mato tried to bluff it out by declaring that he was in no manner to blame, and that Fbetwood had boon in- snbordinato ever sinoo the voyage b^gaa. As we gatiiered forward, one old man wbla- perod that God weald surely punish the mato for hboraolty before that voyage waa ended. Next morning the Captain held aa biveatlgatlon, bat it waa a farce. Those of us who were called into the cabin wore talk- ed to. Instead of being permitted to toU onr stones, and it went down on the log book that Fleetwood jumped overboard rather toan do dnt^ and finish his rayago. " At abont 11 o'clock that day, while wo were drifting, that same whale broke wator again ao near the ahlp that we oenld have pnched a bbcnlt dear ever him from the rail.

The camp extended dong a front of half a mile, taking in a sort of grove.

At daylight toey aent forward sharpshooters, who crept as near the camp ai peasiblo and opened fire with consldorabto effect, Thb was speedily returned frem toe riflas of toe soonte and toe oarbtoes of the troopers, but after an hoar the men were ordered to save toefr ammunition. Daring toe flring a large nnmber of Indians creased to toe norto dde of toe stream and opened fire from that dl- rootion, but toey wasted toob bullets. It was aftomeon before the fight opened in t«al earnest. At least 500 dbmounted Indiana then advanced upon toe front of the oamp, toking advantage of every rock and and hollow, utoongh too oamp oenld not have been better sheltwod a number of men and horses were hit within an hour.

WHh too treopa atrnng out on sndi a loag front and having plenty to do, a flduik attack moant dbastor, and tho com- mander prepared to checkmate it. Fifty man were ordered into toe saddle under cover of tho trees, and at tha blast of the bngto toey charged full at the force of red sktos. Af ier a volley from the carUnes the men drew aabres, and wito the war ory whioh had ooheod on a score of battlefields of tho South, they redo down up3n toe doaky foe.

Aa toey finnally drew rein at tho call ef toe bogle saven troopers found toemselves ont off trem the mdn body. Oae of them was a corpord, and, aa aeon aa ho saw toe atctiatien, he ordered tho tqaad to make for the second grove. They roach ed thb to find It abont half an awe in ex- tent, 1^0 groimd not only well covered wito trees, bat broken Into naturd rifla pits, and dotted hero and th^ro with bonldors. Tho troopers reached too grove amid a abower of bnltota and arrows, whtih forton atoly bjared no one, and tnstead of trying to ooTor too whole ground thev took np a podtion at the eaatorn end, and throw up a breastwork of logs aad rocks.

Not one of toob oarbines had boon hoard for tho last hour, aad ao ono oould say whetoer toey wore dead or dive. Tho general belief was toat they were dead.
